Welcome to EmpowHER. Aside from supplements. There are actually very few naturally occurring foods which contain D, wild salmon being the most notable. The most important source in nature for human beings is sunlight. Our skin uses UV-B energy from sunlight to convert another natural steroid in the skin to vitamin D. Study results have not clearly shown whether D2 or D3 is the more effective form of vitamin D supplement, or if there are any differences between the two. You might need to discuss this with your doctor.
